While I think the percent of trans women in sex work is higher than average, a figure of 90% is way to high.
The rest of what she says is spot on. I think when a majority of your proposed dates end up being "relaxing evening at her place (never his place)" or splitting a hotel and getting room service - something is up.
Most guys didn't want to be seen with me in public - and I NEVER get read as trans (except this one time by a homeless guy). Most guys would never even think about introducing me to their friends - ever. Most guys never bothered to tell me about the wife and kids.
I can totally understand why trans women get into sex work for the reasons mentioned above. Jobs are hard to get, guys treat us like we are porn fantasies regardless of their financial investment in our time, we are largely saddled with sexual expectations that cis women aren't - it's no wonder some gals think "I may as well get mine..."
